Template:Section link/doc

Revision as of 12:04, 20 April 2014 by Czarkoff (talk | contribs) (Documented multiple section names usage)

Usage

This template is used to generate a link to a certain section of an article that has an appropriate section mark (§).

Instead of:

[[History of IBM#1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|History of IBM § 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services]]

...you can write:

{{section link|History of IBM|1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services}}

which is much shorter and does not require you to search for section mark.

Both generate:

History of IBM § 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services

Multiple sections

This template may generate a link to several sections of the same page:

{{section link|History of IBM|1880s–1924: The origin of IBM|1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services|1993–present: IBM's near disaster and rebirth}}

will generate:

History of IBM §§ 1880s–1924: The origin of IBM, 1969: Antitrust, the Unbundling of software and services, and 1993–present: IBM's near disaster and rebirth
